| What is the best tube pre-amp for my system I have owned many tube preamps. Clearly IMHO the Exemplar XP-2 is the best I have ever heard. It really is dual mono units with even twin power cords. It can be used in balanced or single ended form and uses 5670 and 6829 tubes and has an outboard... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I am inclined to take Dave's advice, namely to put the waveguides on Star Sound Rhythm platforms with them on Audio Points. Yesterday I moved my H-Cat p-12 line stage from shelf 4 to shelf 1 on my Rhythm rack. I had always heard that the lowest sh... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Melbguy1, now with expensive cables and power cords, I think the notion of a balanced approach is nonsense. I have found that $20k worth of HFCables on an $1800 dac makes it sound like a $35,000 dac. Also isolation and better racks cannot be ignor... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Roxy54, at the time that I had the Cello gear, they didn't have speakers. I heard the Stradivaris later but never owned them. I don't really recall what speakers I had with the Cellos. It may have been Duntech Sovereigns. | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I am 76 now and can realistically think that I will have my B.M.C. Arcadias for the rest of my life. The thought of a speaker for the rest of my life seemed quite unrealistic until I got old, as I had 28 different speakers over a life with audio s... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I see many using tie wraps. Their dielectric strength is not high, especially if they are hot. I don't trust them. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Budburma, this gets to be more and more of an issue with HF Cables as the waveguides get bigger and heavier. I do have equipment in a rack with four shelves. Equipment on the first two levels is not much of a problem, but I do complicate the matte... | |
| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre T_ramey, it may not help you much, but I used an SS Apprentice on a Accapella platform on a Stillpoints ESS rack with SP Grids under my Koda K-10. I fully realize that this represents a conflict between the philosophies of SPs and SST. Later when ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Mapman, you says "Best to just enjoy things in private if people's responses are bothersome." This makes no sense. Nobody gives a damn what you have to say seeking to disrupt an amiable discussion of personal experiences with products. The correct... | |
| Stand out phono stages Like Michael Fremer, I think the B.M.C. MCCI is at least second best, with only the Ypsilon perhaps better. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Ptss, so I guess you are leaving? | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Calvinj, I will be backin TX next week. For a system with no HFC, no Star Sound, and no Tripoint my system here sounded quite good. I'm anxious to hear the new Hcat amp & pre in my big system. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Ddraudt, perhaps someday, I can get more Rhythms and try Them on ceramics under them. I find the isolation much more important although I have vibration controls under my HFC speaker wires on top of the big isolators.I wish I could find devices su... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Lak, long ago I bought five 18KVA cracked high voltage isolators from a store called the isolator store in Iowa or Nebraska. They are heavy. I support the waveguides of my URR speaker wires on them as well as the URRH pcs to components on the top ... | |
